Intel Pentium 2 canned...
Yes, you read right. The Intel Pentium II processor is formally going to be discontinued soon...amazing how it wasn't already, IMO.
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2004/12/03/intel_eol_p2/ Thought this was interesting...with our minds all trapped in Intel Pentium 4 and AMD Athlon 64, we look back on older technology now. kram
